Lucasfilm's second annual Course of the Force charity relay began earlier this week in San Francisco. The seven day (July 9-16) event, a partnership between Lucasfilm, Nerdist Industries, Machinima, and Octagon, will raise money for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Celebrities Chris Colfer and Alexis Denisof launched the event on Tuesday, and legions of tweets, videos, and photos followed. In this post, we'll round up the best resources to follow the action.

You can keep track of the different stages of the event through the official schedule. Today, for example, you'll see that "The Course of the Force Lightsaber will be transported to Pacific Palisades [in Los Angeles] courtesy of Virgin America Airlines."
